The following sections discuss ways that CPS caseworkers can help fathers be better fathers and also connect men to needed services. HELPING FATHERS BE BETTER FATHERS There are five steps that fathers, especially those who feel tempted to lash out at their children, can take to minimize their propensity to maltreat. The caseworker can explain these five steps to a father and, if deemed appropriate, refer him to an outside professional who can delve further into these issues. First, fathers need to take an active role in nurturing their children.
A major part of the initial assessment or investigation includes determining whether there is a risk or likelihood of maltreatment occurring in the future and whether the child is safe (not at risk of imminent, serious harm). 66 If the father of the child does not live in the home, the caseworker should find out where the father is. 67 Assessing risk involves gathering information in four key domains: the maltreatment itself, the child, caregivers, and family functioning. • Understand what type of relationship the father Fathers clearly need to be interviewed as part of the assessment or investigation.
62 There are three points that can guide a father as he explores what kind of role model he is and wants to be: • Fathers should promote the mission of their families. It may sound odd to talk about a mission statement for a family but all healthy families have them, whether they are articulated or not. For instance, families that believe their children should be brought up with a sound spiritual foundation have, as part of their mission, raising children of faith. And families that believe that children must learn the benefits of hard work raise children who recognize and can embrace the virtues of working hard and applying one’s self to a goal.
